Excellent journalist

Kathryn is a great Radio journalist. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and get the best out of the people she interviews. Most of all, she is not one of those prima Donna “radio/TV” personalities who always put himself/herself above the interview. Too many of them in NZ’s media industry

Kathryn, keep it up and thank you.

Amazing host

Katheryn is such an impressive host who manages to combine intellectual interviews on an amazingly wide range of deep and/or sensitive topics. Head and shoulders above most others. I compare her to a wonderful host for the BBC who managed to “drop a word in the ear of the nation”. Kathryn does the same here for NZ with grace and intelligence.
She gets my vote.

Could be better

Great topics covered and interviewees, but the host doesn’t give them enough time to speak (and spends each interview commenting on the time remaining).
